Next id Tech 5 Game An ‘Action FPS’

MachineGames, based in Uppsala, Sweden was formed by founding members of Starbreeze, the studio behind The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher's Bay and The Darkness.

According to job postings on the Zenimax site, the creative team will continue working in the same genre, describing its as-yet-unannounced title as "an action FPS".

"We are excited to create a new AAA title for gamers on id Tech 5 that will push the game development envelope," said MachineGames CEO Jerk Gustafsson when the outfit was acquired by ZeniMax in November.
